Parenting as an Adult TCK

If you're an adult TCK who is now navigating parenting, this workshop was designed FOR YOU.

Discover the transformative power of understanding your upbringing and how it influences your parenting practices.

We'll explore key factors common to the TCK life, such as emotional health, identity formation, the need for change, subconscious expectations, and the experience of grief and loss. By reflecting on how these elements shaped your development, you can bring intentionality into your parenting and create a healthy, nurturing family life for your children.

Identify which aspects of your globally mobile childhood have impacted how you parent, what's served you well in the past and what you want to let go of. We'll consider what it's like raise children with a fellow ATCK or a monocultural partner, as well practical steps for creating a family environment where our kids feel seen, safe, and valued - whether they're TCKs themselves or not!

Join me to intentionally shape your parenting practices, and build a hopeful future for your family.
